About

About me

My name is Matthew.

For over 10 years I have been working on various positions including Business Analyst, ETL Developer, Tableau Developer and MIS Designer. I used to have a great tutor at the beginning of my Integrations adventure but since then I've learned everything I know by myself. Adding this on top of previous BI experience with Tableau I have become versatile and eager to learn even more. Now it's time to share solutions for few projects I came across.

Visit my LinkedIn profile for more information about my experience. I currently do projects mostly as a freelance. You can hire me on Upwork for projects.

Skills

Tableau

Tableau is one of the most advanced visualization solution currently available on market. Year over year it improves its result in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and 5 years in a row was classified as a Leader. Tableau is an alternative to other applications such as PowerBi, Domo or Qlick View. Definately most powerful from this whole stake.

Classic Tableau deployment consists of Tableau Desktop for designing dashboards and Tableau Server where end users can access data and interact with the vizualisations.

For users not willing to host it's own server, there's an alternative in Tableau Online which works the same as Tableau Server but is hosted and maintained on the Tableau side.

There's also free alternatives (Tableau Reader and Tableau Public) which allows to reduces integration cost greatly. Community forums already passed 100 000 users collaborating on making the software better and are always ready to support with the toughest cases and implementations.

Talend

Talend is one of the most powerful softwares for ETL processing. Open Source and Java based nature means limitless possibilities for custom components for applications not supported natively (for example Tableau).
